I know you

Where are you my sweetest lullaby?

I wish I had your scent on me, sedating me

With that afterglow of security.

Years have gone by,

I can see you so vividly.

When’s the day your presence becomes tactile?

I believe in you, I can feel your smile.

It becomes the only thing to make non-mundane

A life of dark exile.

 

Exist for me,

My sweet salvation.

Just be for me.

I’m not sure how much longer I could hold on.

I wonder if somewhere across bridges, seas or tables,

You’ve yearned for me for just as long.

I wonder if you know that I twist my hair in thought.

That I look to the right when I’m shy.

Would you recognize me?

Would I recognize you?

I wish coincidence would just let us try.

 

Maybe you’re already in my life,

But I think I would’ve known,

Because I can see the way you’d look at me

Beyond the surface, straight inside.

I can’t bring myself to even think that I might be wrong.

That you’re uncreated,

That I’m cursed to life alone.

No, no. No.

I know you.

I can almost touch you.

You must be real,

A lifetime of hope can’t be made up.

Can it?

Not with this,

not with the way the mere thought of you makes me feel.
